1888.
This report has been prepared under the direction of a Commit-
tee consisting of our classmates Foote and Porter and myself, in
accordance with a vote of the class requesting that it should be
published on the thirtieth anniversary of our graduation. Reports
have been previously published by Charles A. Allen, then Class
Secretary, in 1861, and by the late George Dexter, Class Secre-
tary, in 1864, 1868, and 1878, and the greater part of these previ-
ous reports is here reprinted, together with such additional infor-
mation as has been since obtained. Of the ninety-one members of
the class who graduated, sixty-one are still living, nearly all of
whom have replied to my circular letter of inquiry. Of the twenty-
eight temporary members of the class, seven are known to have died,
and several others have not been heard from by the Secretary for
many years. I should be glad to receive further information con-
cerning them at any time.
The lives of our classmates who died in the war of 1 861 -1865 —
Eells, Lowell, Mason, Patten, Richardson, and Spurr — are
recorded in the Harvard Memorial Biographies more fully than is
practicable within the limits of this report.
I have been much assisted in preparing the report by Mr.
Amory Eliot (H. U. 1877), and I desire also to acknowledge
kind assistance received from Mr. William H. Tillinghast, of
the University Library.

August, 1876, he was again nominated for Congress by a
meeting of citizens dissatisfied with the action of the regular

mittee of the " People's party," which carried the election.

tinuous service in both the great national parties." He has
written two articles on " The Law of National Quarantine."

nal," December, 1878, and the second appeared in the Trans-

JOHN OTIS BURT.— Born in Syracuse, N. Y., April
27, 1835 ; son of Aaron and Eleanor R. (Otis) Burt. He
wrote to the Secretary in May, 1885, as follou's : " I left col-
lege in the spring of 1858, and travelled in Europe that year,
with Joseph May of 1857. Before leaving Cambridge, I had
asked our admirable President Walker, if my previous work
might not entitle me to a degree, but received no definite
answer. In August of that year, while on board a steamer
on the Lake of Constance, I met Professor Francis Bowen,
with whom I afterwards walked through part of Switzerland.
He informed me that he remembered that my diploma had
been granted at the last Faculty meeting which he attended,
i8
and I received it in due time on my return. In 1859-60, I
studied medicine in Cambridge with Professor Jeffries Wy-
man, in Boylston Hall, and attended lectures at the Harvard
Medical School. In i860, went to New York City and en-
tered the College of Physicians and Surgeons as student of
Dr. John C. Dalton. In April, i86(, when the city was in a
fever of excitement, I enlisted in the Ninth Regiment New
York Volunteers, Colonel Van Huren ; but there was such
delay in fitting out the regiment for service, that I entered
the navy as assistant surgeon, passing the regular examina-
tion and obtaining my commission July 30, 1861. Was or-
dered to the frigate Colorado in the Gulf squadron under
Farragut, and later to the Naval Hospital at the mouth of the
Mississippi with Surgeon Philip S. Wales. After the capture
of New Orleans, I was ordered to the Mississippi squadron,
and assigned to the iron-clad Cairo, Lieut. -Commander Sel-
fridge. Scon after, the Cairo was destroyed by a torpedo
in the Yazoo River, noticeable as the first time a torpedo
was ever effectively employed in warfare — the small begin-
ning of our present great torpedo service. This one was a
simple affair, but sufficed to blow the whole bottom out of
our boat, which sank, in about six minutes, in six or seven
fathoms of water. (She was attempting to get to the rear of
the Vicksburg works.) I was then ordered to the gunboat
Conestoga, where I remained till Nov. 23, 1863, when I
resigned my commission on account of continued ill health.
I married, Feb. 25, 1864, Helen Narcissa Moulton, of Marcy,
Oneida County, N. Y., daughter of Dr. Franklin and Almira
(Cary) Moulton. After a year's residence in Paris and
Vienna, occupied in medical study, I returned to New York
and graduated in medicine at the College of Physicians and
Surgeons. Have since resided principally in Syracuse, N. Y.
I have not been able to do a full practice owing to bad health
contracted during my Mississippi service, where I served
summer and winter without a day's leave of absence, in a try-
19
ing climate. Have held the office of City Physician (Health
Physician) in Syracuse, and was for four or five years one of
the visiting physicians to St. Joseph's Hospital. When the
Geneva Medical College was removed to Syracuse, and be-
came the Medical Department of Syracuse University, I was
appointed Assistant Professor of Chemistry, of which branch
I later had full charge, and established the present laboratory.
I was afterwards made Professor of Materia Medica, but soon
after gave up my connection with the college, after a service
of seven years. Went to Fayal, Azores, for a time, and re-
turned to Syracuse. My wife died Jan. 4, 1873, after a few
days' illness, of typhoid pneumonia, leaving three children :
Arthur Temple, born in Paris, France, Dec. 17, 1864 5 Aaron
Moulton, born in Syracuse, N. Y., May i, 1866; and John
Otis, Jr., born in Syracuse, May 16, 1869. My oldest son is
a farmer in the Onondaga Valley, and married, April 3, 1885,
Emma J. Hunt. The second son is with a surveying party
on the Grand River, Colorado. The youngest is attached
to the nautical school ship St. Mary's, now on a cruise to
the Azores and Mediterranean ports." May 21, 1888, he
writes : " Since last report I have been ' invested with the

1862. In March, the regiment was sent South, and shared
in the battle of Shiloh, where Eells was taken prisoner with
the regimental hospital. He was held only a few days, there
being an agreement between the surgeons on both sides
that the wounded in the joint hospitals should be allowed to
return to their respective camps on recovery, and their hos-
pital attendants with them. The regiment was soon attached
to General McClernand's division of the reserve, and employed

at Bolivar, Tenn. He received a commission as assistant
surgeon of his regiment, Feb. i, 1863. Early in June, it was

stationed at Snyder's Bluff until the fall of Vicksburg, July 4,
1863. The regiment was next attached to the expedition
sent up the Big Black River. The country and the season
were both perilous, and Eells probably contracted his disease
by exposure at this time. In August, he joined General
Steele's expedition into Arkansas, and suffered much from
chills and fever and ulcerated sore throat. He remained at
Little Rock until Dec. i, then returned to Detroit on sick
leave. When he reached home he could not speak above a
whisper; and, though he seemed to improve at first ^ his
lungs were soon found to be seriously affected, and he rapidly
lost strength. He died of bronchial consumption^ at his
uncle's house in Detroit, Jan. 31, 1864.

large popular use of libraries for purposes of reference and

manded by Mr. Schmitt, the instructor in German in the
college. Orders were soon given transferring the company
to the Twentieth Massachusetts Regiment, and Lowell was
commissioned first lieutenant in that regiment, July 10, 1861.
He was in camp at Poolesville, Md., until the 20th of the fol-
lowing October. In the battle of Ball's Bluff, Oct. 21, he was

wound at home, he returned to his company, of which he now

tion, and died on July 4. The place of his death was Nel-
son's or Frazier's Farm, and his remains were buried there
by a private of his regiment. They were removed from this
resting-place by affectionate hands, in the autumn of 1865,
and placed beside those of his brother, General Charles R.
Lowell, in Mount Auburn. Lowell was rarely gifted in intel-
lectual and moral qualities. He stood easily first among us
in scholarship, and his purity and nobility of character, his
earnestness, his kindliness, made us all love and admire him.
A brilliant career of usefulness and honor in civil life seemed
to lie open before him when his patriotism and love of free-
dom led him to encounter the hardships and dangers of war
in the service of his country. His memory will always be
cherished among us with pride and affection. His short life
was filled with high purposes and noble achievements, and
was fitly closed by his willing sacrifice of it for the great
cause to which he had devoted it. He said, among his last
words, that " he felt that his death was altogether right, and
hoped they would think so at home."

ease, that he could not recover. He died Sept, 10, 1864.

to his disappointment, his vessel was assigned to the monoto-
nous blockade off Wilmington and Beaufort. However, as

stant exposure incident to them was developed a disease
which had already proved fatal to other members of his fam-
ily. He was forced to resign his commission, June 5, 1862.

the summer months in Southern New Hampshire. At the ap-
proach of winter, desiring a drier climate than that of New

returned to his home, and lived quietly, waiting for the inevi-
table end. He was twice chosen by his fellow townsmen a
member of their School Committee, and performed such duties

by a minie-ball. Two of his men came where he lay, and
offered to carry him to the rear, but he ordered them back to
the ranks. The regiment was almost instantly forced to re-
treat to the shelter of a wood, and the ground where he fell
was not again occupied by our troops until after the battle.
He lay on the ground all day and all night. The next day
the enemy occupied the ground, and a South Carolina officer,
a college acquaintance, caused him to be removed to a
farm-yard near by, and gave him a blanket. Here our forces
found him when they reoccupied the ground, three days
afterwards. He was taken to the nearest hospital, and
then to Hagerstown, where his mother and brother-in-law
joined him. He suffered terrible agony until an operation
was performed ; but even then there was no hope of saving
his life. He was conscious to the last, met death bravely,
and throughout all his suffering, thought only of others.

VI. ODE,
BY WILLIAM GILCHRIST GORDON, OF NEW BEDFORD, MASS.
Alma Mater, we pause on thy threshold to-day,
Now the time of our sojourn is o'er,
While we turn from the hopes that allure us away.
To ask for thy blessing once more ;
Not a son of thy nurture can ever forget
The mother who blesses him now;
He will think of thee oft with a tear of regret.
While time marks its score on his brow.
May the sons who are leaving thy shelter to-night
Be true to their God and to thee,
While they faithfully strive to interpret aright
The precepts they learned at thy knee :
May the bread thou shall cast on the waters to-day
Return to enrich thee at last.
When thy sons in their gratitude strive to repay
The debt that they owe to the past.
ii6
As we leave the dear home that has sheltered our youth,
And the comrades who 've been with us here,
While we sought 'mid the lore of the past for the truth,
And dreamed the bright treasure was near,
Through the scenes that are gone by our memory led.
O'er the graves of the friends lying there.
Shall the souls of the living commune with the dead
While we whisper our parting in prayer.
It is strange that our hearts should be joyous to-day
When we part from the friends who are dear.
That the smile and the tone should be gladsome and gay
When the moment of parting is near ;
But the sunlight of love as it passes away
On the clouds of our sorrow is cast,
And the joy that is filling our glad hearts to-day
Is the image of joy that is past.

THE MEMORIAL WINDOW
In Memory of our Classmates who fell in the War.
In January, 1875, Foote, Ozias Goodwin, and Magoun were appointed
a committee to arrange to place in Memorial Hall a stained glass win_
dow in memory of our classmates, Eells, Lowell, Mason, Patten, Rich_
ardson, and Spurr, who fell in the war. After the death of Goodwin, in
1878, Phillips was chosen as a member of the committee in his place.
The committee issued a circular, requesting subscriptions from the class,
and received from them contributions which, with the gift of $100 from
the mother of a deceased classmate, and with interest, amounted to
$1,500, which was the cost of the window. The committee selected, as
subjects for the two parts of the window, the figures of Leonidas and
John Hampden, and for the inscription upon one part of the window
these words, written by Lowell : " Died for the cause of civilization and
law, and the self-restrained freedom which is their result"; and upon
the other these words, which Patten wrote : " As for the chances of
life or death, neither is welcome without honor or duty. — either is wel-
come in the path of honor and duty." The window was made by Cottier
■& Co., of New York, and was placed in Memorial Hall, on the north
side, near the western end of the hall, in October, 1882.
OTHER SUBSCRIPTIONS.
The sum of $1,045 was contributed by the class, in 1 866-1 867, toward
the cost of Memorial Hall; and they contributed, in 1869-1879, $2,680
to the class subscription fund of the college; and, in 1879, $125 to iht
memorial of General William F. Bartlett.
